INSTANT POT SWEDISH MEATBALLS



Instant Pot Swedish Meatballs image

This speedier version of Swedish meatballs is streamlined and made in an Instant Pot®, but loses nothing that we love about the classic recipe. Gone is the step of chilling and resting the subtly spiced meatballs; we brown them as soon as they're formed. We also bypass the tedious process of making a roux and whisking in broth to form the rich, creamy gravy. Instead, we simply pour the broth over the meatballs, dot it with pieces of beurre manie and let the Instant Pot® do the work. After the steam is released, all that's left to do is stir in some heavy cream.

Time 50m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

1/2 stick (4 tablespoons) unsalted butter, at room temperature
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups low-sodium beef broth
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup heavy cream
3/4 pound lean ground beef
3/4 pound lean ground pork
1 cup plain breadcrumbs
1/4 cup grated yellow onion (from 1/2 large onion)
3 cloves garlic, grated
2 large eggs, beaten
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
1/4 teaspoon ground white pepper
Kosher salt
Vegetable oil, for browning
1/4 cup fresh parsley leaves, chopped
Mashed potatoes or egg noodles, for serving

Steps:

  • For the gravy: Knead together the butter and flour in a medium bowl until there are no streaks of unmixed flour and the mixture resembles a very soft, paste-like sugar cookie dough. Set aside the beurre manie until ready to use. In a large bowl or a 2-cup measuring cup, whisk together the broth, Worcestershire, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper and set aside.
  • For the meatballs: Place the beef, pork, breadcrumbs, onions, garlic, eggs, Worcestershire, allspice, white pepper and 2 teaspoons salt in a large bowl. Mix with your hands until combined. Scoop a heaping tablespoon (1 ounce) of the mixture, form into a meatball and place on a baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining mixture; you should end up with about 35 meatballs.
  • Set the Instant Pot® to saute on high (see Cook's Note). When the pot registers hot, add 2 tablespoons vegetable oil. Working in three batches, add the meatballs and cook in a single layer, undisturbed, until golden brown on the bottom, about 3 minutes. Gently stir and move around the meatballs to turn them on another side. Cook, undisturbed, until golden brown on the second side, about 3 minutes more. Transfer the meatballs to a plate and repeat with the rest of the meatballs. (You may need to add more oil for each batch.)
  • When there's 1 minute left in browning the last batch of meatballs, turn off the saute mode. Add the other two batches of browned meatballs to the pot and the reserved broth mixture. Tear off dime-size pieces of the beurre manie and distribute them evenly over the meatballs.
  • Follow the manufacturer's guide for locking the lid and set to pressure cook on high for 4 minutes. After the pressure cycle is complete, set the timer for 7 minutes to natural release. Follow the manufacturer's guide for quick release and wait until it is complete. Be careful of any remaining steam when unlocking and removing the lid.
  • Stir in the heavy cream and make sure all the beurre manie pieces are dissolved into the gravy. Set the pot to saute on high and let boil for 1 minute. Top with the parsley and serve with mashed potatoes or egg noodles.

Time 55m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 ¼ pounds lean ground turkey
1 large egg, beaten
3 tablespoons panko bread crumbs
1 teaspoon granulated onion
½ teaspoon granulated garlic
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
1 pinch ground allspice
1 pinch ground nutmeg
2 tablespoons salted butter
1 ½ tablespoons olive oil
1 ¼ cups beef broth
¾ cup half-and-half, divided
½ teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 ½ teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
2 tablespoons sour cream
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley

Steps:

  • Combine ground turkey, egg, bread crumbs, onion, garlic, salt, pepper, allspice, and nutmeg in a large bowl; mix until well combined. Use a spring-hinged scoop to form about 12 meatballs.
  • Turn on a multi-functional pressure cooker (such as Instant Pot®) and select Saute function. Add butter and oil; heat until butter is melted. Cook meatballs in the hot fat until browned on all sides, about 4 minutes. Work in batches if necessary. Transfer browned meatballs to a shallow dish and loosely cover with foil.
  • Pour broth into the pot and scrape off all the browned bits from the bottom of the pot using a wooden spoon. Mix in 1/2 cup half-and-half, Dijon mustard, and Worcestershire sauce. Return meatballs to the pot and coat with the sauce.
  • Cancel Saute mode. Close and lock the lid. Select high pressure according to manufacturer's instructions; set timer for 5 minutes. Allow 10 to 15 minutes for pressure to build.
  • Release pressure using the natural-release method according to manufacturer's instructions, for 7 minutes. Release remaining pressure carefully using the quick-release method, about 5 minutes. Unlock and remove the lid. Transfer meatballs carefully to a shallow dish and cover loosely with foil.
  • Whisk together remaining 1/4 cup half-and-half, sour cream, and flour in a small bowl. Stir into the pot and simmer until thickened, 3 to 5 minutes. Serve meatballs with sauce and garnish with parsley.

INSTANT POT® SWEDISH MEATBALLS



Instant Pot® Swedish Meatballs image

Pasta and meatballs, Swedish-style! It's a luscious, creamy and hearty dish full of warming spices and brightened up with a side of lingonberry preserves and a garnish of chopped fresh dill. While we never tire of this comforting dish, this version is extra special. The Instant Pot®, as it turns out, is a magical pasta pot. Cooking the noodles under pressure doesn't just turn them silken, it also permeates them with rich, saucy flavor-and that's only half of what makes this recipe so special. Meatballs cooked in the Instant Pot® have a chance to brown, thanks to the SAUTE function, and they still turn out juicy and tender since they get finished under pressure. Once we discovered this pot's knack for knocking out 5-star spaghetti and meatballs, we've been working through all our favorite versions of this classic combo, which is why we're so excited about this recipe. We hope you enjoy it as much as we do!
